Your tax dollars at work...

TSA agents at the Louisville, Kentucky airport laughed at a deaf man, called him “f***ing deafie,” and then stole his candy – another perfect example of why this loathsome federal agency needs to be abolished immediately.

“They went through my bag (for no reason), and found a couple bags of candy I brought. I was told I wasn’t allowed to fly with that (wtf? I’ve flown with food before — these were even sealed still because I brought them right in the airport). I was then asked if I would like to donate the candy “To the USO”. Since I know the airport there has an Air National Guard base, and I figured it would go to the soldiers, I (annoyed) said sure, why not?”

“The guards, as I was getting scanned, started eating the candy they just told me was for the soldiers. In front of me, still laughing at me (very clearly now). One of them asked why they were laughing, and one of them came up to me, pointed at my shirt, laughed at me and said, “****ing deafie”.

The Louisville TSA called me a “****ing deafie” and laughed at me because I was deaf, and they expected wouldn’t say anything back (or wouldn’t hear them). Make no bones about it — she was facing me and I read her lips. There was no mistake. I would later find out that they had called at least 4 other individuals the same thing.”

After the man became agitated, his friends tried to calm him before another TSA agent began filming and laughing, calling the group of deaf people “dumb apes”. When the group threatened to make a complaint, the TSA agent retorted, “You’re dumb deafies anyway so no one would believe you”.

And just imagine agents like this guarding all modes of transportation, even metro.

A GED and ability to wave a metal detector is all it takes.
As you can see and read, the government is hiring folks that no one else will.

If those were private company agents they would be fired and you all know that.
But they are "government workers" so nothing will happen.

No because if they were private company agents, they wouldn't have a lynch mob of anti-USA/anti-union/anti-government/anti-worker zealots making fraudulent claims like this everywhere every second of the day to an ethically challenged media who is seems to be more on the side of the terrorists. What ever happened to verifying facts and getting the full story?

Stepped up security is everywhere now, not just at the airport and by government agents. Ever been to a football game or other entertainment venue lately? You think the airports are intrusive? Oh wait, they aren't goverment workers who happen to be fighing for union protection at the moment...

I recently did work with the union that has now been elected to represent the TSA officers, so I am aware of where these attacks are coming from and who is sponsoring them. Open your eyes.

You all know the TSA is out of control. You have uneducated people given a bit of power and it has gone to their heads.

Here's one that didn't have a video, just a story. Follow up though is that it was real because the TSA apologized.

They told a woman to "prove" that her breast pump was real.

This was all part of the 9-11 agenda. Use the terrorist boogieman to justify invading countries like Iraq and Libya, and condition the populace to passive acceptance of police-state control. A few more examples of TSA terrorism, in the link below:
